Singers, Song Writers and Musicians Wanted To Form A Contemporary
Fusion Metal Band!
Progressive rock/fusion guitarist/composer seeks singer/lyrists and musicians to write, play and record heavy mental music. I need a vocalist  that sings in a
intelligible rock style , like Geoff Tate of Queen's Reich  or Pat Benatar with the ability to convey emotion. Lyrics should be socially  and politically
relevant. Creative team players with great attitude, memory,chops and the ability to transcribe from a recording  desired. I have allot of odd meter stuff that
grooves and would like us to write some mixed meter antiigroove tunes. All instrumentalists should have their own original style and be a able to solo.
Drummers with double bass skills and willing to play an electronic kit. I own an octa pad with double bass triggers. It is very basic and would like you to
play on something better. I might be able to expand on the octa pad Co-lead guitarists with the ability to play in alternate tunings . Violinist, keyboardists
and 5 or six string bassist wanted. I might be interested in sax and trumpet.

I would like to lead the band but the direction should be democratic.

I have rehearsal/recording space with isolation rooms . I want to keep my neighbors happy, so we'll be using headphones to practice and record at night if
we go past 8:00.
